Environmental Services Chatbot

With a disproportionate amount of time and energy spent on handling repetitive bin collection enquiries, stolen or damaged bin notifications, and fly-tipping reports, all Local Authorities would benefit from the introduction of digital automation technologies.

As contact centres are often stretched to breaking point during peak periods, long wait times and high call abandonment rates have become the norm, drastically reducing the quality of the customer experience.

Frustrated by their interactions, many customers look to less efficient channels as a means of resolving their enquiries. This has the effect of pushing the cost of each customer interaction even higher, whilst also distracting human agents from performing more complex tasks that typically constitute a better use of their talents.

The Inform Environmental Services Chatbot resolves these key challenges in a number of important ways. It reduces the strain on contact centres by processing 100% of enquiries and providing users with an always-available channel that allows for 24/7/365 customer service.

The service is also designed to encourage channel shift, directing users away from inefficient means of contact and towards more cost-effective self-serve options. The use of the latest AI technology ensures that it’s able to handle both routine reporting of environmental issues and routing users to the most appropriate channel for their enquiry – be that online forms, payment channels, or a human agent. Finally, the automation of these routine enquiries allows human agents to focus their efforts on more valuable work.

How Does It Work?

Chatbots utilise the latest AI technologies to provide organisations and their customers with a 24/7/365 contact channel. Interacting with customers in a way that imitates human conversation, they provide information or actionable responses wherever possible. If the chatbot isn’t able to provide an answer, it routes the enquiry to an alternative channel or human agent.

Installation

In order to ensure that our Environmental Services Chatbot is able to respond quickly and efficiently to Local Authorities’ changing needs, it operates as a cloud-hosted technology. This allows us to make changes, adjustments, and improvements remotely, as and when they’re necessary.

Setup

Depending on the scale of the project, an Environmental Services Chatbot will typically take somewhere between 8-10 weeks to design, build, and implement. In some cases, a more complex chatbot will require a longer build-time. The setup and implementation process is designed to ensure that there is minimal disruption to existing service provision.

Data and Reporting

If Local Authorities are to provide a satisfactory customer experience, it’s necessary to leverage user data to create increasingly efficient digital services and systems. With our integrated analytics platform, we’re able to provide real-time insights into how your chatbot is being used, where it could be improved, and whether it can be adapted to better meet the needs of users.
